Lewis Miller has been forced to wait for the chance to shine at Hibs, but having nailed down the position in the closing weeks of the season, he has vowed he will be the best right-back in the league this season.
Miller arrived with a big reputation on his shoulders, joining from Central Coast Mariners last summer as one of Lee Johnson’s first signings at Easter Road, but he was shut out until March while be battled with injuries. However after impressing against Celtic twice and Hearts in the closing stages of the campaign, he finally feels ready to make the green shirt his own and show exactly why Hibs brought him halfway round the world.
With Chris Cadden facing an extended spell on the sidelines with the Achilles injury picked up in the Edinburgh derby, Miller is expected to get the nod when the Europa Conference League qualifiers get underway later this month. And he told the Record: "The first year was more of an adaption year for me, trying to get used to the league, the players and how the football is, it is obviously very different to Australia.
